Islander Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) What does an engine that puts out 109,000 horsepower at 102 rpm look like? The article in the link below will show you. The Wartsila RTA96C-14, the 14-cylinder (and so far the largest) member of a family of engines that range from 6 to 14 cylinders, achieves efficiency figures of over 50%, while car and small aircraft engines are in the 25-30% range. http://www.gizmag.com/go/3263/ Edited July 8, 2016 by Islander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
